“As you know, there are issues sa pagbuo ng team hindi ba,” sabi ni SBP basketball head coach Chot Reyes. “PBA had already give its statement. We don’t have anything right now until such time that we will have that final list and for that announcement.”

“Well, we still have 24 players, iyun pa rin, old pool pa rin, the problem now is naming the Final 12. The PBA release a statement to we will work within that framework and I said, masyado pang mara­ming moving parts, so it’s going to be a long meeting now, hopefully to come out with the final list tomorrow,” sabi ni Reyes.

“Our players in the cadets pool are part of the 24, nandu’n naman sila, I don’t want to preempt, everything has to be approved and released by the SBP, by the PBA, daming dadaanan pa,” sabi ni Reyes. “Even Blatche and Abueva, they are part of the pool, everyone in the pool is a potential, they are part of consideration.” (Lito Oredo)
